Angarfather reacted to Leo-zd in Lady Nelson by Leo-zd - 1:119 - SMALL January 23, 2015

As the deck is from very tin plywood (0,4 mm) downside created the reinforcement with balsa and at the position of the mast with other piece of plywood, then on that was glued the deck.

The second planking is done with walnut strips (2*1mm) .

I have always the big problems when trim and sand the planking because I always damage the keel, so I usually make a hull without the keel and ad it at the last moment.
For better positioning of the visible part of the keel I made a channel with saw so the junction is hidden.
Now I am in war with the curved part of keel ..

@: S.Coleman To show the nails I use this little device: two cutted hypodermic needles in the top of a soldering iron to burn in the covering of the nails.

Part 2

The Gallion

I think that the wood of a sail ship from the early 18.century was protected by tar. The guys in the International Maritime Museum, Hamburg told me, that this tar was not black but dark brown. And so I take "Van Dyck Brown" for this job, as I have seen the ships in the paintings of Rembrandt and van Dyck.

To cover the wales I scratched an angle trim. That had been a very fiddely job, for the 2*3mm wallnutbeams are very sensible under progress.

The skupperports are from 9mm Ramin. To make these parts was not a difficult job: first drilling the 5mm whole, than cutting into 2,5mm slides, some sanding - ready.

Masts

The masts of a pinco are made from one treestem. One peace. Non problem to make this on the turninglathe.

The mastheads with the sheaveholes are quadrangle. This form can be sanded well on the millingmachine

drilling and milling the sheaveholes.

Thanks, John. I use distemper colours. These colors can be thined well. However, there are some small problems with the surface, as it is watercolor.

I had to make nearly 50 cleats for this little ship. And that's may way to do this.

First I have made a squarebar. Than milling the profile.

Thats the result, a profilbar.

Thereafter cutting with the circular saw

I attach the cleats with glue and a nail in a centerhole. Drilling in the centerhole

Now just grind a bit, and the first cleat is ready

Part 5

It's the first time that I have to carve decorations.

My first akantus pieces

and than the next parts with leaf gold and in place.

That's my pinco today.

Last but not least : I belive that a ship must have a name. Her name is Gianna - and that's in german Hanna.

Cheers Hartmut

Part 4

The decoration of the transom was a interesting area. First problem was the framing. I wasn't able to make it from wood.
But the solution was to make it from 2mm soldering wire. In a vice I formed it into a fourcorner.

Some shots after painting the hull. I use distemper coulors. Tar = van Dyck brown decorationareas = english red

rails are black. The frames of the transion and the decoration = leaf gold
